Wonderful!

We had a wonderful tour @ Montserrat. Our guide Laiya was great, knowledgeable and kept the tour on schedule. She explained everything beautifully, her passion for art was so evident and we had a good tour with her. She was caring and answered my 8 year olds questions patiently. Thank you for a lovely time together. Special thanks to our driver Bogdon for a safe and quick drive. The monastery and surrounding area is breathtaking.

Nice and easy trip to Montserrat

Really nice experience overall. The transfer was smooth, the group size was comfortable, and the guide explained everything clearly without rushing. Montserrat is impressive, and having everything organized made the visit easy and stress free. A good option if you want to visit without worrying about logistics.

Beautiful day with Toni

Great Toni! What a nice experience that made us live in Barcelona, departure from Plaza espana with private Van was just the 6 of us! The day has flown and we can only recommend this experience to everyone who has a day in Barcelona, it is really worth discovering what is beyond the Sagrada Familia and park guell, montserrat must be absolutely visited!

Operator response

Che bello leggere la tua recensione! 😄🏞️ Siamo felicissimi che Toni vi abbia fatto vivere una giornata così speciale a Montserrat, con il van privato e solo per voi 6. È fantastico sapere che la giornata sia volata e che abbiate scoperto un lato di Barcellona oltre alla Sagrada Familia e al Park Güell. Grazie mille per consigliare questa esperienza, Montserrat merita davvero una visita! ✨

Beautiful Montserrat

Beautiful experience well organized from Barcelona with our guide Toni; I tour and in English even if he speaks a little Italian. Montserrat is a special place; definitely worth a visit if you have a free day in Barcelona!

Operator response

Che bello leggere il tuo commento! 😄🏞️ Siamo felici che Toni abbia reso il tour così speciale e ben organizzato, anche in inglese. Montserrat è davvero un luogo unico e merita assolutamente una visita se avete una giornata libera a Barcellona! ✨ Grazie per aver condiviso la tua esperienza!

Food, fun and fascinating facts!

An unforgettable day for us as a couple! We learned so much about how Lambrusco, Parmesan and Balsamic are crafted. The Lambrusco tasting was fun, and lunch was a real treat. Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide Stefania made the experience both educational and entertaining. Everything well organized!

Fantastic guide

Our guide was really good and professional. Good explanation and a lot of alternatives given on this rainy day in Barcelona. Would be good if the company could offer another day since you can’t really see much on a rainy day at the monserrat

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the guide’s professionalism and explanations. We completely understand how rain can limit the experience at Montserrat, your suggestion about offering alternative days is noted and much appreciated. We hope to welcome you back on a sunnier day so you can fully enjoy the stunning views and all Montserrat has to offer! ☀️🏔️
